International Journal of Nanotechnology in Medicine and Engineering (IJNME) has accepted for publication an invited paper by Vijay K Arora, Department of Electrical
Engineering and Physics, co-authored with his mentee Arkaprava Bhattacharyya, who
worked under him as a postdoctoral fellow when Professor Arora was a distinguished
visiting professor at the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). Professor Bhattacharyya
is now a faculty member at SASTRA University in Tamilnadu, India.

The title of the paper is “High-Field Resistance Surge in a Carbon Nanotube Ballistic
Transistor.” In this paper, a newfangled paradigm through deployment of the nonequilibrium
Arora’s distribution function (NEADF) for resistance surge in a carbon nanotube (CNT)
ballistic conductor is presented. Ballistic transport is a collision-less transmission
through a conducting channel that is smaller in length as compared to that of the
collision-limited mean free path. Carbon nanotube (CNT) is one of the carbon allotropes,
other being graphene, nanoribbons, and bucky ball fullerene. The research will trigger
design of the sensors and actuators for drug delivery in biochips of tomorrow.
